Radio, TV signals disrupt flights<\/p>\n
PEKANBARU, Riau: The high number of frequencies used for radio
\nand television stations have affected flights and other
\ntelecommunications signals, a minister has said.<\/p>\n
State Minister of Communications and Information Syamsul
\nMu'arif added the number of radio and TV stations had risen after
\nprovincial administrations had issued permits for people to use
\nradio frequencies.<\/p>\n
Syamsul said Government Regulation No 25\/2000, which replaces
\nbroadcasting law, has loopholes such as allowing local
\nadministrations to issue permits for using radio frequencies.<\/p>\n
He revealed that the government had prepared a bill on
\ntelecommunications, which was aimed at revoking provincial
\nauthority and returning the power to his ministry.<\/p>\n
Should the bill be passed into law, it would limit the use of
\nradio frequencies, he added. - Antara<\/p>\n
